Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask His Majesty's Government when they plan to introduce legislation to enable hydrogen-powered off-road construction vehicles to be able to move locations via the public highway.
Following a consultation that closed in April 2024, the Department for Transport is developing an amendment to The Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986 to allow hydrogen-powered off-road machinery to be used on the road. Legislation is expected to be introduced alongside publication of the Government’s response to the public consultation in April.
